I am quite capable of boring just about anyone simply by opening my mout...er...I guess that's not really a superpower, is it

Tell us something.: Just updating my profile after 16+ years of C&F membership. Sold most of my flutes, play the ones I still own and occasionally still enjoy coming here and read about flute related subjects.

My girlfriend, also a whistler/fluter, has magic red-tape melting laserbeams come out of here eyes. It is true and totally astonishing. If she wanted to, she could get a visa to China, walk into a zoo tomorrow, walk out with a Panda bear bound for the slave markets of SE asia, and nobody would blink. The customs officials would brew tea for her as she robs them of cultural heritage. I've seen her do even more amazing things back during the Cold War.

Me, I can change the pitch of my flute just by ingesting bubbly liquids.

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

--I speak Dog.

--I can, instantly and at will, become hyperactive enough to match a room full of first graders.

--I have the ability to make my wife roll her eyes in exasperation.

Someday, I will rule the world. It is my destiny.

Of course. We are kindred souls, sharing an affinity for the sublime nepenthe.

I have slept through four hurricanes, although I did awaken instantly in the earthquake.
Mine is a super-power because it's not a cultivated skill or a sleep disorder. It's an innate ability to enjoy a deep, undisturbed sleep. It's also the reason the cat wakes up my wife, rather than me, when it gets hungry at 4 AM; I sleep right through its feeble attempts. (Luckily, our cat hasn't learned how to grip a baseball bat.)

Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)

Knowing when people are thinking or talking about me due to some big issue (positive or negative, like family arguments and such), or are about to phone me. I hear a high-pitched hissing kind of sound (before the phone rings)..

Would you people please stop it now!?!?!?!?!? Yer drivin' me crazy!
